now it’s your choice when you choose
courage in the face of fear you defy the
things that hold you back from greatness
that stop you from becoming all that you
can be no matter whether things are
better
always richer or poor going up or going
down always remember that you would not
be stressed or frustrated if you were
not close to what you were trying to
achieve stress is an indicator it’s a
benefit it’s a favor unless you know
you’re at your limits it does not mean
that you cannot do it but it does mean
you have to change something anytime
there is stress you have to change
structure
or strategy you got to in order to
develop and to change and to grow stress
is necessary as long as you think the
odds are against you you’ll get stuck
where you are if you’re letting the odds
talk you out of stretching out of
dreaming out of believing then you’re
going to miss the fullness of your
destiny it’s easy to go through life
thinking of all the reasons why we can’t
be successful while we won’t get well
while we’ll never meet the right person
we look at our situations in the natural
and think the odds are against us
when you know the odds are for you
you’ll put your shoulders back you’ll
carry yourself with confidence you’ll
expect to do great
all through the day this should be
playing in our mind the odds are for me
on any given day you can massively
change the direction of your life but
see anybody if you want to can go
searching for a good plan take it and
start working it and sure enough as the
time passes as it surely will five years
from now ten years from now then you’ll
be winding up wearing what you want to
wear driving what you want to drive
living where you want to live become
what you want to become but now’s the
you see it’s very liberating when you
finally realize that you have the power
to make your life whatever you want it
to be it’s a wonderful feeling knowing
that your success does not really depend
when I let down what I am I become what
I might be
[Music]
we are living in a time an era where
people are waking up on the planet where
they settled 30 years ago for a check a
cup of coffee in cubicle farm and woke
up and said this doesn’t work for me
anymore
I have brilliance in me and then they
discovered what you do is not who you
are because who you are is just a
snapshot of what you do we’re resilient
and capable of taking control of our
stories and how they will shape us we
can take those stories at anytime and
make some lessons learned and breathless
counselors we get to ask ourselves
what’s good about this of every
situation and we get to bask in all that
we have to be grateful for right now
every disappointment every lonely night
it may have been different
but it has prepared you and made you
into who you are today quit looking at
your difficulties as obstacles that are
going to hold you back and start looking
at them as opportunities that are going
I want you to have a new perspective
those challenges were stepping-stones to
your destiny if you didn’t have big
problems you wouldn’t be a big person
and every morning you need to remind
yourself you are equipped you are
empowered you are anointed you are
strong you are talented you are creative
you have been armed with strength for
every battle there is no challenge
that’s too difficult for you no sickness
can hold you back no person can steal
your destiny no legal trouble is going
to defeat you something on the inside is
saying I am bigger than this problem I
was created to overcome I was destined
to live in victory when times get tough
and you don’t see a way out don’t go
around complaining oh this is never
going to change no dig your heels in
have the attitude I’ve come too far to
stop now this may be extraordinary but I
know I’m an extraordinary person when
times get tough you cannot back down and
get discouraged you’ve got to know that
you know you are equipped you are
sometimes we get so caught up in our own
messiness that we just can’t see the
good and reaching out can make all the
in life you’re gonna have pies and
you’re gonna have lows keep standing
you’re gonna have victories you’re gonna
have defeats you’re gonna have valleys
as well as mountaintops keep standing
the most poignant seven words never
utter in any speech anymore
don’t give up don’t ever remember those
great people didn’t I now have a
responsibility to also not ever give up
[Music]
life is not easy it will never be easy
anything you won this life you get the
bust your ass to get you’re gonna have
to roll the dice sometimes you have to
take that chance you can have to be
afraid you have to look at it like this
if you truly want to succeed in life
your dreams and goals are your enemies
they want nothing to do with you they
refuse to be conquered unless you are
willing to get out there and put in the
work and invest in with your dedication
to time you’re paying your effort your
blood your sweat your tears that is how
to achieve something base your days on
your values because when you have
complete clarity about what you want to
achieve in life then you can have
complete clarity about what you need to
do every day but when you don’t know
your values and when you don’t live your
values that’s when you end up allowing
[Music]
great people do things that other people
don’t
great people are always asking
themselves what can I do to grow how can
I improve how can I make sure that my
team is benefiting from my contribution
great people rarely think about
themselves rarely think about their
comfort level rarely think about their
feelings our emotion the true mark of a
champion is even though some dirt gets
thrown on your dream instead of letting
it get buried you keep shaking it off
you keep moving forward
you keep looking for new opportunities
don’t worry about what needs to be done
think about who you have to be in order
to get it done if you care about your
success more than anyone else in the
room I promise you this you will be
successful at some point time right now
you can change your circumstances you
can change your life by changing the
definition of yourself by redefining who
you are who you are right now today is
not who you have to be tomorrow
you can literally change your life in
under one second no one else feels sorry
for you
only you do nobody knows your shit if
you want something go out there and get
it go out there fucking take it that’s
all there is to it
if you have anything in life that you’re
trying to accomplish big small whatever
get comfortable with the uncomfortable
get comfortable with pain you can’t go
your entire life being afraid afraid of
the consequences afraid of what you
might lose on your journey you’re
chasing stability all your life in an
unstable environment reach out and
achieve everything that you were born to
achieve every minute of the day you can
change yourself it takes nothing more
than a decision if there is any part of
you or your life that you are not happy
with or not please do it then it’s up to
you to change it because there’s no one
else out there who wants you to succeed
badly enough to push you and help you in
the right direction it’s all going to
fall on you it is your responsibility
you are what you repeatedly do there for
excellence I’ll be a habit not an act
how do you do anything is how you’ll do
everything just give it everything
you’ve got so you can put yourself in
the best position
and that’s all we can do in life people
sometimes life is gonna serve you up
some curveballs I challenge each and
every one of you to step in that
batter’s box and take a damn swing just
take a swing that can’t hold you back
you’re holding yourself back
and you’re let that fear define you
ain’t keeping you from achieving these
great things in your life
and you can do so much more you could be
so much happier yes you are gonna hit
failures in life but the thing is you
can’t let that dictate define who you
are
your failures are what ultimately to
push you harder when you make a decision
to serve all kind of doors open up to
you all kinds of opportunities come your
don’t quit don’t give up you keep
standing tough times don’t let you keep going on
